I was hoping anyone with way more experience using pedals on acoustic mandolins might have an idea what Jeff Austin is using to "electrify" his Gilchrist here to get that sound. I am also perfectly aware that a sizable portion of the mando community might hear it and say, "Whatever's he's doing should simply not be done at all!" I will grant that it is not everyone's cup of tea, but as someone with a fondness for often abrasive guitar tones (Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine, etc...) I actually really dig the sounds he's getting.
There's gotta be a delay pedal in there, but how is he getting that electric sound?
